HENRY COLLINS, Starchmaker, born in England in 1606, 
came from London in the Ship "Abigail " June 30, 1635, with his 
wife, Ann, born 1605, four children and five servants, and settled 
on Essex street in Lynn, Mass., where he remained until his 
decease, February 20. 1687, age 81 years. 

Children : 

2 Henry, Jr., born 1630, married, and had six children recorded in Lynn. 

3 John, born 1632, married Abigail Johnson, of Lynn, Mass. 

4 Margery, born 1633. Nothing known of her. 

5 Joseph, born 1635. He may have been born on the way over ; married, 

and had seven children recorded in Lynn. 

In Hutton's Original List, &c. , page 07, and in Drake's Re- 
searches, &c, page 35, appears the following : 

"Vltio Jnnij, 1635. Aboard the Abigail, Robert Hackwell Mr p cert 
from the Minister of Stepney pish of their conformitie : 1 that they are 
no snbsedy men.

Margery Collins 2 

Servants — Josua Griffith 25 

Hugh Alley 27 

Marv Roote 15 

Jo. Coke 27 

Geo. Bnrdin 24 " 

The following is taken from Newhalls' History of Lynn, Mass.: 

Page 151 — "Henry Collins was a starchmaker and lived in Essex 
street. He embarked in the Abigail, of Loudon, 30 June, 1635. In 1639 
he was a member of the Salem Court. He was born in 1606, and was 
buried 20 February 1687, at the age of 81. His wife, Ann, was born in 
1605. His children were Henry, born 1630; John, born 1632; Margery, 
born 1633; and Joseph, born 1635, and his descendants remain." 

Page 171— "1637 — A town meeting was held this year in which Daniel 
Howe, Richard Walker and Henry Collins were chosen a committie to 
divide the lands, or as it was expressed in the records: 'To lay out 
ffarmes. ' The land was laid out in those parts of the town best, adapted 
for cultivation, and the wood lands were reserved as common property, 
called the 'Town Common', and was not divided until sixty-nine years 
afterwards. " 

In a list of names, about one hundred in number, recorded in the 
town records in the year 1638, which follows the above extract, appears 
the following: "Henry Collins up-land and meadow 80 acres and ten." 
The ten acres was a separate allotment, and was undoubtedly his village 
or town lot where he resided. 

Other references to the name of Henry Collins in the public records 



COLLINS FAMILY 



of Lynn show rh;it he was a man of importance in that community, was 
frequently called upon to perform duties of public trust and confidence, 
and sometimes acted as an advocate in court trials. 

A. Chalk ley Collins of Great Barrington, Mass., in a letter dated 
Aug. 16, 1900, says: "Henry Collins belonged to the Parish of Stepney 
in the eastern part of the present city of Loudon and worshiped in the 
Old Parish Church at that place. This Parish Church of Stepney, ded- 
icated to Saint Dunstan, is the oldest in East London, and one of the 
oldest in all London. Before Dunstan re-built the church in the tenth 
century there was a Saxon church there dedicated to all saints. The 
present church was huilt in the time of Edward IV, 1471-1483, a few 
relics of the previous church being preserved. According to the church 
records several of the children of Henry Collins were baptized in this 
church, among whom was his son John ( our ancestor) at the age of eight 
days on January 82, 1631. Henry's place of abode is recorded in this 
record as Tatcliff Highway, and his business that of a starchmaker. 
His wife. Ann. died at Lynn. .Mass.. probably in 1690, as her will dated 
in 1690 was probated in that year." 

II. JOHN COLLINS, (second son of Henry and Ann) born in 
England in 1632 and lost by shipwreck at sea with his son John in 
1679, married Abigail Johnson, daughter of Richard Johnson, at 
Lynn. Mass.. and by her had the following children, all born at

8 Samuel, born May 19, 1659, he married Hannah and had chil-

wreck in 1679. His wife, Abigail, survived him and to her administra-

chief by his squaw who found her lost in the woods. Late at night the 
chief returned home and told the squaw of a plan adopted to extermi- 
nate the whites. She cautioned him saying there is a little pale face 
sleeping in a bed of skins in the wigwam. The chief then told her the

child must die, to which site remonstrated, saying that she had promised 
to take her home in the morning. The chief passing a firebrand over 
the Cace of Susannah and observing no signs of consciousness spared her 
life and sin was able afterwards to give her friends timely warning and 
thwart the plans of the Indians."

This John Collins, head of the foregoing family, was a Quaker 
preacher of great power and influence and ministered over the Friends 
Church of Richmond, R. I. , of which he was one of the first trustees, and 
afterwards of the church of the same sect situate one mile west of the 
village of Hopkinton. He and his wife, Mehitable, were married in ac- 
cordance with the forms of the society of Friends. In the Friends re- 
cord of their marriage his wife is called Elizabeth, but in all subsequent 
mentions of her name in the same record she is called Mehitable, the 
name given her in the record of her birth at Rehoboth, Mass. 

In " Westerly and its Witnesses," published in Providence, R. 
I. ,. ' in 1878, Frederic Denison, the author, in speaking of John 
Collins at page 1 '■'<] . says : 

"Oneof the first distinguished speakers ill the Hopkinton meeting 
was John Collins. Concerning him a testimony was issued by the Month- 
ly Meeting in 1780 from which we present an extract: He was born 
in the town then called Westerly (now Charlestown) Dec. 12, 1716, of 
believing parents, and when almost twenty-four years of age was con- 
vinced of the blessed truth and became zealous and circumspect in life 
and conversation and for truth's sake took up the cross and denied him- 
self of his former pleasures and delights. It was not long after his con- 
vincement before his mouth was opened to a public testimony, wherein 
although for some years he had but few words in meeting, yet his ap- 
pearance was both acceptable and edifying to Friends, and as he proved 
himself faithful and diligent in the gift bestowed npon him the Lord 
was pleased to enlarge it so that he became an able minister of the 
Gospel. ' He was an eminent minister and for many years sat at the head 
of New England Yearly Meeting. ' He was much engaged and took 
much pains in endeavoring to have the Africans or negroes freed from 
slavery and often testified against that wicked practice.' He died in 
Stonington, Conn., Oct. 1, 1778. His name is a precious legacy to 
Friends. " 

TfcAmong the first colonists who came to Brookfield for settlement in 
1791 or 2, probably the latter date, was Stephen Collins, who is supposed 
to be Stephen Collins, (51) born February 6, 1763. In Mason's history 
of Chenango and Madison county, page 527, appears the following: 
"Stephen Collins settled on Beaver Creek about one and one-half miles 
south of Clarksville where widow Wheeler York now lives, and where 



,._> COLLINS FAMILY 



he Boon after coming to Brookfield built a grist mill which he 
sold at an early date to Daniel White from whom it was long known as 
White's mill. " Mr. Collins after selling the mill property removed to 
the hill on the same farm and continued to reside there until his death ; 
he and his two wives were buried on this farm. His daughter, Nancy, 
who married Ellis Morgan, both of whom died in town, was the only 
one of his children who remained here." The following is the inscrip- 
tion upon the tombstones at the graves of Mr. Collins and that of his 
two wives, which are in an enclosed but badly neglected private burial 
vard on the farm upon which he in life resided and where he died: "In 
Memory of Stephen Collins, Died Oct. 7, A. D. 1834, age 72 years. 
"Edith' wife of Stephen Collins, Died April loth. A. D. 1813, age 51 
years." "Chlotilda, wife of Stephen Collins, Died July 24. A. D. 1840. 
age 68 years. " 

In the last Will of Chlotilda Collins, the last wife of Stephen Collins, 
recorded and probated in Madison County, she mentions her son, Russel 
S. Kendall, and her four step-sons. Benjamin, Stephen, Jr., John B. and 
Arnold Collins, sons of "my husband Stephen Collins." 

V. Joseph Collins, (Hezekiah, John, John, Hemy) bornJune

the old way by the use of numeral even to this day.

Frederic Denison, in Westerly and its Witnesses, at page 132, 
speaking of John Wilbur, says : 

"Among the last honored ministers of this meeting was the uni- 
versally beloved John Wilbur. He was born in Hopkinton, July 7, 1774. 
While a young man he was often engaged successfully in teaching school. 



16 COLLINS FAMILY 



He was a youth of exemplary deportment and religiously inclined from 
early life. In 1793 he was married to Lydia Collins. He first appeared 
in the ministry in the thirty-sixth year of his age, though he was ap- 
pointed an elder in 1798. In 1812 he was officially acknowledged by 
monthly and quarterly meetings. In 1824-5 he traveled through various 
parts of New England, and in 1827 visited the State of New York. From 
1881 to 1883 lie visited and spoke in England. From 1840 to 1844, and 
indeed ever after, he bore testimony against the so-called Gurney 
schism. In 1852-3 he traveled in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and New 
York. A second tour was made to England in 1853-4. Ardently at- 
tached to the principles of the Society of Friends, his life was one of 
incessant labor, and his ministry was of much power though insufficient 
to stay the tide of innovation upon the faith of Fox and Barclay. He 
had power also with bis pen and his correspondence was extensive. 
Through his influence the Hopkinton meeting was divided and his fol- 
lowers wen- called Wilburites. The Gurueyites, being in the majority, 
retained the meeting house at Hopkinton, its properties and records, 
but the dissenters soon built another near the old: this was in 1848. 

"The good and faithful John Wilbur, honored by all who knew him. 
as mature in virtues as in years, died May 1. 1856. and was buried in 
the Friends graveyard in Hopkinton."

death in the potashery at Clarksville by falling into a kettle of boiling 
potash; the other sons died out of Brookfield, the adopted home of their

Mrs. I.. M. Hammond, in her History of .Madison County 
published in 1872, says : 

"In the west part of the town of Brookfield (directly west of 
Clarksville) a number of Quakers settled, prominent among whom, 
were: Joseph Collins, Jr., Solomon and Hezekiah Collins, Mr. Shef- 
field, Gideon and Thomas Kenyon and James Larkin. The three sons 
of Joseph Collins, Jr. — Job, Peter and Joshua — and Albert Button (who 
married Marv Collins, a daughter of Joseph Collins. Jr..) built up a 
place culled Moscow, now DeLancy. The Collins brothers were saddlers 
and harness makers. Peter Collins built a tavern. Albert Bntton 
built a store, and Job and Joshua Collins had a nnmber of shops for 
the several trade- of harness and saddle making, and wagon making 
and blacksmithing. For about ten years a considerable business was 
done at Moscow; hut near the year 1830 these proprietors desiring a 
location where better facilities in the form of water power and easier 
aocess to large business centers were ottered, sold out, moved away and 
the abandoned village soon decayed. Some of the best of the deserted 

buildings have 1 n converted into farm houses upon the very good farms 

m the neighborhood. 

"The Quakers had a large society in this locality which was con- 
aected with that of the town of Madison. For many years their meetings 
were held at the house of Thomas Kenyon. About 1820 their house of 
worship was huilt and was well filled with worshippers at all their meet- 
ings for about twenty-five years, Heath then began to decimate the aged

The following is taken from a more extended biographical sketch 
printed in the excellent Centennial history of Onondaga county by 
Gen. Dwight H. Bruce : 

"Dr. John Collins was the fifth child in a family of eleven children, 
nine of whom arrived at maturity, who were born unto John Collins and 
Lucy Bnrdick, his wife, of Brookfield. His boyhood was spent on the 
farm of his father in Brookfield and was subject to all the hardships and 
deprivations of pioneer life, yet with indomitable pluck and persever- 
ance he was able to acquire an excellent education for his time and far 
above the average of the community in which he lived. Like many 
other young men he taught school winters to obtain the means to meet 
expenses of a higher education. He was graduated from Hamilton 
Academy, and subsequently from Castleton, Vermont, Medical College 
in 1829, and settled inSpaflord, Onondaga Comity, N. Y. , in 1830, where 
he acquired a wide professional business which continued without in- 
termission down to the time of his decease, August 15, 1853. He was one 
of the leading physicians of the county during his career and a promi- 
nent member of the Onondaga County Medical Society. He was a fine 
botanist, knew the medical properties of almost all varieties of plants, 
and while he was an old school practitioner by education and precept 
he was ever ready to try and test the efficacy of new remedies or new 
modes of practice commending themselves to his good judgment and quick 
perception. During the latter part of his professional career the prin- 
ciples of Hahnemann having found favor with some of his patients he was 
quick to discover what was good in this mode of practice and was able 
to administer to those who were desirous of that mode of treatment. 
There being no lawyers residing within the field of his labors he was 
often called upon by his clientage to serve them in the preparation of their 
deeds, bonds, mortgages, contracts, leases and wills, which his superior 
education had so well fitted him for drafting. He was never an aspirant 
for office and was loth to accept public preferment when offered, yet for 
several years he was school inspector and superintendent, and for many 
years postmaster, because the first was agreeable to his tastes and the 
latter involved no part of his personal attention, the duties being per- 
formed by his wife. He was one of the founders of the Methodist 
Episcopal church at Spafford, was one of the first to espouse the cause of 
temperance, and generally supported and advocated any good and 
worthy cause which he believed would advance the moral interest and 
material welfare of his townspeople. Dr. Collins at an early day joined 
the Onondaga County Medical Society and was generally respected by 
his fellow practitioners for his social and professional attainments. 
After a lapse of nearly half a century his name is still treasured in nearly 
every household embraced within the scope of his labors with affection- 
ate regard. He married Mary Ann, daughter of Captain Asahel Ronndy 
and sister of Prof. Charles O. Roundy, the first principal of the Syra- 
cuse High School; she survives and resides in Syracuse, N. Y. They had 
eight children, of whom two are living: Capt. George K. Collins, a 
prominent lawyer in practice at Syracuse, who served as Captain in the 
149th N. Y. Vols, during the War of the Rebellion, and Frank Collins, 
both of Syracuse. N. Y.

Captain Collins' father, who was a physician and surgeon, died while 
residing at S.nafford, a small country village, when the subject of this 
sketch was sixteen years of age and a country boy living on a farm. A 
few months afterward Captain Collins, accompanied by his mother and 
two infant brothers, moved to the city of Syracuse and commenced the 
struggle of life under very discouraging circumstances, working alter- 
nately at whatever he could find to do and going to school until the 
spring of 1858 when he was graduated from the Syracuse High school, 
then considered an excellent educational institution. He then entered 
the law office of the well-known firm of D. and D. F. Gott at Syracuse, 
as a student, but his labors were soon interrupted by the event of the 
Civil War and his admission to the bar was delayed until about 1866. 
Whatever success the Captain may have achieved at the bar, or other- 
wise, he owes to himself and the indomitable pluck and perseverance 
inherited from an excellent father and mother. He has never professed 
religion in the general accepted interpretation of that term, still he has

generally attended the M. E. church, of which his parents were mem- 
bers, and among other church offices was at one time Superintendent of 
the Sabbath school connected with that society. In habits of mind in 
relation to religions subjects Captain Collins has a strong penchant to 
many of the characteristic tenets believed in and adhered to by his 
Quaker ancestors, for whom he cherishes a devout attachment.
